Benzamide derivatives

ABSTRACT

A benzamide derivative represented by the following formula: ##STR1## wherein R 1  represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkanoyl group; R 2  represents a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom; R 3  represents a lower alkoxy group; R 4  represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group; R 5  represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, or a lower alkoxy group; A represents C 1  -C 7  alkylene group which may optionally be substituted with a lower alkyl group; X represents a methylene group, an oxygen atom, or a sulfur atom; m represents an integer of from 0 to 3; n represents an integer of from 0 to 3; and p represents an integer of from 0 to 2 and a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof is provided. These compounds are useful since they have gastrointestinal stimulating activity, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising said compound is useful for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to novel benzamide derivatives which have excellent gastrointestinal stimulating activity and antiemetic activity and are useful as medicament for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. The present invention further relates to a method for preparing said benzamide derivatives and a pharmaceutical composition useful for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases comprising said benzamide derivative as an active ingredient.

BACKGROUND ART

Since the development of Metoclopramide (The Merck Index, 11th Edition, 6063) as an antiemetic agent and a gastrointestinal prokinetic agent, various substituted benzamide derivatives having antiemetic activity and gastrointestinal stimulating activity have been provided.

For example, The Merck Index (11th edition, 2344) discloses Clebopride which is a benzamide derivative having a piperidine ring and is useful as antiulcer agent. The Merck Index (11th edition, 2318) discloses Cisapride useful as a gastrointestinal prokinetic agent. These drugs are widely used clinically. In addition, Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. (Sho)55-92384 discloses that benzamide derivatives substituted with an azabicyclo ring have antiemetic activity and gastrointestinal stimulating activity and that they are useful as an antiemetic agent and a gastrointestinal prokinetic agent.

However, these substituted benzamide derivatives are not sufficiently useful since they do not have stimulating activity on lower digestive tracts such as the large intestine, although they have stimulating activity on upper digestive tracts such as the stomach. Furthermore, these substituted benzamide derivatives are not satisfactory from a safe standpoint since they sometimes cause adverse reactions such as extrapyramidal syndrome or hyperprolactinemia.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide medicament for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases having stimulating activity not only on upper digestive tract but on lower digestive tract and reduced side effects.

The inventors of the present invention conducted various studies to achieve the aforementioned object, and found that novel benzamide derivatives of the present invention have stimulating activity both on upper digestive tract and lower digestive tract. The inventors also found that these novel benzamide derivatives have reduced side effects and are useful as medicament for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases having excellent selectivity. The present invention was achieved on the basis of these findings.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides benzamide derivatives represented by the following formula (I): ##STR2## wherein, R¹ represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkanoyl group; R² represents a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom; R³ represents a lower alkoxy group; R⁴ represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group; R⁵ represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, or a lower alkoxy group; A represents C₁ -C₇ alkylene group which may optionally be substituted with a lower alkyl group; X represents a methylene group, an oxygen atom, or a sulfur atom; m represents an integer of from 0 to 3; n represents an integer of from 0 to 3; and p represents an integer of from 0 to 2, or pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof. The benzamide derivatives are useful since they have gastrointestinal stimulating activity.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, a method for preparing said benzamide derivatives is provided.

According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, a pharmaceutical composition useful for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases which comprises said benzamide derivative as an active ingredient. The pharmaceutical composition is useful as, for example, a gastrointestinal prokinetic agent, an antiemetic agent, an agent for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome, and agent for the treatment of constipation.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

In the aforementioned formula (I), a lower alkanoyl group represented by R¹ may be, for example, formyl group, acetyl group, propanoyl group, butyroyl group, or trimethylacetyl group. A halogen atom represented by R² may be, for example, a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, or a bromine atom. A lower alkoxy group represented by R³ and R⁵ may be, for example, methoxy group, ethoxy group, propoxy group, isopropoxy group, butoxy group, isobutoxy group, or tert-butoxy group. A lower alkyl group represented by R⁴ and R⁵ or a lower alkyl group which may optionally substitute on the alkylene group represented by A may be, for example, methyl group, ethyl group, n-propyl group, isopropyl group, n-butyl group, or tert-butyl group. R⁵ and Ph--CONH(CH₂)_(n) --(wherein Ph represents a substituted phenyl) may substitute at any position of a ring comprising X and N.

Examples of pharmacologically acceptable salts of the benzamide drivatives of the present invention include alkali-addition salts or acid-addition salts. Examples of the alkali-addition salts include, for example, inorganic alkali-addition salts such as, for example, sodium salt, potassium salt, calcium salt, and ammonium salt, and organic base-addition salts such as, for example, ethylenediamine salt, ethanolamine salt, N,N-dialkylethanolamine salt, and triethanolamine salt. Examples of the acid addition salts include, for example, inorganic acid-addition salts such as, for example, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, sulfate, nitrate, and phosphate, and organic acid-addition salts such as, for example, acetate, maleate, fumarate, citrate, oxalate, tartrate, malate, mandelate, methanesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, and 10-camphorsulfonate.

The benzamide derivatives of the present invention represented by the above-described formula (I) may optionally have an asymmetric carbon atom. Each of enantio-isomers distinguished by the asymmetric carbon atom, an arbitrary mixture thereof, and racemate, i.e., equimolor mixture thereof, fall within the scope of the present invention. Where the benzamide derivatives of the present invention have more than one asymmetric carbon atoms, each diastereomer and an arbitrary mixture of the diastereomers also fall within the scope of the present invention.

The benzamide derivatives of the present invention may be in any one of possible conformations. For instance, where the compounds of the aforementioned formula (I) wherein p is 1, piperidine, morphorine, or thiamorphorine ring substituted with Ph--CONH(CH₂)_(n) --group may be in any one of configurations selected from chair form, boat form, or twist-boat form. In the specification, compounds having Ph--CONH(CH₂)_(n) --group and --(CH₂)_(m) --cross linking group above the same side of a ring plane comprising X and N are referred to as endo-compounds, and compounds having each of the groups above the opposite sides of the plane are referred to as exo-compounds.

As an example demonstrating remarkable advantageous effects of the compounds of the present invention, experimental results are set out below relating to effects on motility of digestive tract of a conscious dog.

Effects on gastrointestinal motility in conscious dog

Under systemical anesthesia, force transducers were chronically implanted to the stomach and the colon of the adult male or female dogs in a direction to measure circular muscle contraction according to the method of Ito et al. (Japanese Journal of Smooth Muscle Research, 13, 33, 1976). A silicone tube chronically attached into jugular vein for intravenous administration of test compounds. After the animal was recovered from the operation, test compounds were administered at about two hours after feeding while gastrointestinal motility was measured. The gastrointestinal motility was indicated as motor index, and the effects of test compounds were estimated by the change of motor index for twenty minutes before and after the administration. The results are summarized in Table 1. It can be concluded that the compounds of the present invention exhibit excellent stimulating effects on lower digestive tracts as well as upper digestive tracts.
